Update info tab

This tab is available when local information is synchronized with the server (VCS | Update Project). The Commits area shows a list of all commits performed since you last synced with the remote.

If you want to see a full list of all files modified since the last update, position the caret anywhere in the list of commits and press Ctrl+A. You can disable grouping to see a flat list: click on the toolbar in the Changed Files pane.

Branch

For multi-repository projects, you can also select the checkbox next to one or several roots in the Roots section.

This button is disabled if the selected commit is already contained in the current branch.

IntelliSort

If this option is enabled, you get a more convenient way to view merges by displaying incoming commits first, directly below the merge commit.

Presentation Settings

Click to invoke the list of options that let you configure how data is presented in the Log tab of the Repository tool window Alt+9

Compact References View: if this option is enabled, branch references for a single commit are displayed in a collapsed view:

If you want to expand each branch reference on a line, deselect this option:

Show Tag Names: enable this option if you want tag names to be displayed in addition to the tag icon:

If this option is disabled, you can still view a tag name by hovering the mouse over the tag icon.

Show Long Edges: if this option is enabled, long branches are displayed in full, even if there are no commits in them. If this option is disabled (by default), long branches are replaced with a down arrow.

Collapse Linear Branches: enable this option to collapse all branches on the graph so that a dotted line is shown instead of successive commits. It is also possible to collapse an individual expanded branch by clicking it.

Expand Linear Branches: enable this option to expand all collapsed branches to show successive commits on the graph. It is also possible to expand an individual collapsed branch by clicking it.

Highlight: select if you want to highlight the following:

My Commits: bold font

Merge Commits: greyed out

Current Branch: blue background

Non-Picked Commits: greyed out (only available for Git). Non-picked commits are commits from the selected branch that have not yet been applied to the current branch.

Show columns

Select which columns you want to see: author, date, and hash.

Open Another Log Tab

Click to open a new log tab matching your filters, so that you don't have to set filters back and forth.

Go to Hash/Branch/Tag Ctrl+F

Click this button and specify a hash, tag or branch you want to jump to. You can select a reference with the same name from different repositories. The name of each repository is displayed on the right along with its color indicator.

Changed files pane

This pane shows a list of files that were modified within the currently selected commit.

If you want to see a full list of all files modified since the last update, position the caret anywhere in the list of commits and press Ctrl+A. You can disable grouping to see a flat list: click on the toolbar in the Changed Files pane.

Context menu commands

Compare the revision of the file in the selected commit with its current local version.

Compare Before with Local

Compare the reversion of the file before the selected commit with its current local revision.

Edit Source F4

Open the local copy of the selected file for editing.

Open Repository Version

Click to open the repository version of the selected file for editing.

Revert Selected Changes

Click to roll back the changes in the selected file. This option is useful, when you only need to revert specific files instead of discarding an entire commit. Changes that revert the selected file will be placed in the active changelist.
